SPARTANS LOSE LAUGHER

TWENTY MINUTES OF BAD PLAYING DESTROYS TEAM

Sparty Ball Says : "Kids, play the whole game, not just 30 minutes"

"It could have been a lot worse," Captain J sputtered out as he quickly left the arena Sunday.

The Spartans, known for their off and on approach to indoor soccer, felt that they would commit to a new plan. Play effectively for half the game, and then play "experimentally" the other half.

The result was a score fest against beleagured Baron, who faced far too many break aways in a 20 minute time span.

"It was getting ridiculous," commented Baron," after a while I just didn't have my heart into it. I mean, it's one thing to save a few break aways, but after the fifth, I didn't know what the point was."

Commentators for TSN were far from satisfied with the Spartan play.

"You have a team with three subs, and then a team that had six guys with no subs. There was no movement, no attempt to wear down the opponents. It was obvious that the Spartans were more active, but they never made themselves clear of their opponents, and got lazy defensively."

The only bright side seemed to be Steve's first goal of the season. A nifty little pass that was put through with authority.

"I might not be as good as Dave, Captain J, Tyler, Abe, Trevor, Sam, Anders or the other guys," laughed an elated Steve,"but I still scored. And that's something to be proud of. I mean, if I can score, and get on the Golden Pear, there's a hope for us all...isn't there?"

"All in all it was a great learning experience," revealed Captain J," I know Baron has picked up some tips for future break aways, and we've learned that you can't play indoor properly acting like men on a fussball table."

Will Abe Score Again?
While Pundits agree that the young winger is probably one of the best ball handlers in the league, they wonder why he hasn't been more effective on the field.
"It's all about confidence," said Dr Acula of McGuille University," when he visulize the ball hitting the twine, it makes him shoot 30 feet into the air. Abe...if I can tell you one thing...imagine the ball in the net, and then let it rip. You'll get it! Just have faith"

Super Bowl Decimates League
Oshawa Kicks spokesman Larry Akula noted that the Spartans played the only game not called on default.
"Yeah, it was dumb to schedule a game on Super Bowl day, but hey, we thought that the guys were soccer players, not couch warming monkeys watching an over rated game."
